And on the Muppet Show tonight!

It’s like a scene from the Muppets. Up in the eaves of the Dáil sit Deputies Ming Flanagan, Mick Wallace and Shane Ross amongst other members of the technical group.

During the order of business this afternoon the microphones were left on during a vote. Waldorf Wallace and Statler Ming without ties along with Comrade Ross view the members around them and start chewing the cud. Seemingly still annoyed at the discussion on the proposed new rules on the standard of dress of members, the talk turns to those around them.
